I could while landing, but the higher the aircraft the thinner the aircraft could travel faster. Also, the engines on a Concorde were extremely loud, so it flew higher so it wasn't a nuisance.

Why the Concorde wouldn't travel lower?

Why wouldn't the Concorde travel lower than the stratosphere?

The Concorde did not travel lower than the stratosphere primarily due to the need to avoid excessive air resistance and turbulence that occur in the denser air of the lower atmosphere. Operating at higher altitudes, typically around 60,000 feet, allowed the aircraft to achieve optimal speed and fuel efficiency while minimizing drag. Additionally, flying at stratospheric levels helped reduce noise pollution over populated areas, as the sonic boom created by supersonic travel was less disruptive at higher altitudes.

Why wouldn't Concorde jet travel lower?

The Concorde jet operated at supersonic speeds, which made it capable of flying above the speed of sound. However, flying at lower altitudes would have resulted in increased drag and fuel consumption, diminishing its efficiency and performance. Additionally, regulatory restrictions and noise concerns, particularly over land, limited its operational altitude and routes. Therefore, maintaining higher altitudes was essential for optimizing its speed and fuel efficiency.
